Here are the results (so far, last game may finish by the time I'm ready to post) of Round 4 of the London Chess Classic 2009 and the standings for the tournament. Remember the tournament uses a scoring system of 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 for a loss. This is to try to get more fighting chess during tournaments rather than early draws, it also uses the Sofia Rules, no early draws, draws accepted by arbiter if shown to be perpetual check (or repetition), a theoretically drawn endgame, or just plain down to King vs King.

RE: FTC Blogger Compensation Endorsement Rule Dec 01, 2009
While TransWarp Chess does get compensation for banner ads from Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Program, Commission Junction Affiliate Program and Allposters.com. TransWarp Chess does try not to personally Endorse any specific product, while I the blogger may like the idea of certain products and services, it is up to you, the reader to decide if a product deserves to be looked at via the ads. I comment on chess and computer chess, this blog is NOT about the products that are featured in the ads. At any rate, to date TransWarp Chess' blog and the small sister blog Paranormal Questions, has in it's account $1.59 from Google Adsense, no distribution of funds until $50.00, $0.00 from Google Affiliate Program and $0.00 from CJ Affiliate Program, $5.74 in holding at Allposters.com until $25.00 is reached in commissions. All this well over a year of blogging, I guess some abuse the blogging system to the point that this rule was made, I hope this satisfies the FTC regulation, as to what I heard on the site, it sounded like if the blog itself was dedicated to a specific product/s. But best to be safe.
